Turn Your News Portal Into a Native Mobile App
Give your readers the fast, offline-ready, notification-powered experience they expect — launched in weeks, not months.
Your Readers Expect a Mobile App. Most Portals Don't Have One.
Building a native app in-house takes 6–12 months and a dedicated mobile team. Meanwhile, readers move on to publishers who meet them where they are.
Slow mobile web
Readers bounce from sluggish browser experiences. A native app loads instantly, even on spotty connections.
No push notifications
Breaking news waits until readers decide to visit. Push notifications bring them back the moment it matters.
No offline access
Commuters, travelers, and rural readers lose access entirely. Offline reading keeps them engaged anywhere.
Three Steps to Your Own News App
No mobile engineering team needed. BeaconRead handles the hard parts so you can focus on what you do best — journalism.
Connect your portal
Point BeaconRead at your existing CMS or RSS feed. We ingest your content automatically — no migration required.
Customize your app
Apply your brand — logo, colors, typography, section layout. Configure push rules, paywall tiers, and personalization.
Launch on App Store & Google Play
We handle the build, submission, and review process. Your branded app goes live in weeks, not months.
Everything a Modern News App Needs
Built for publishers, not generic app builders. Every feature addresses a real problem newsrooms face on mobile.
Offline reading
Articles sync automatically. Readers keep reading on the subway, on a plane, or in areas with poor connectivity.
Push notifications
Breaking news, personalized alerts, and re-engagement nudges — all configurable from your dashboard.
Personalized feeds
Machine-learning recommendations surface stories each reader cares about, increasing time-on-app and return visits.
Paywall & entitlements
Sync your subscription tiers seamlessly. Metered, hard, and freemium paywalls — your rules, enforced in-app.
Reader analytics
Understand what your audience reads, shares, and skips. Real-time dashboards built for editorial and product teams.
Your brand, native
Your logo, your colors, your typography. Readers see your brand, not ours — on both iOS and Android.
